Could an '8647' hat or T-shirt get you in trouble?

Sounds to me like you haven't got much to use to counter the fact that Crazy Trump is playing God, and the feeble minded Magatards do believe that Crazy Trump is indeed God.

There's nothing to counter. Trolling the libs with a meme isn't synonymous with "playing God". Don't be retard. Nobody thinks President Trump is God.

Thanks for demonstrating my point, but I assure you, it was ENTIRELY unnecessary. I still haven't decided if you are dishonest, or just stupid. I'm leaning toward the latter, which is a bit of a compliment.

Sycophancy

The social psychology term: sycophancy
Sycophancy captures the behavioral surface — the excessive flattery, the mirroring of the powerful person’s opinions, the competitive enthusiasm to please. What distinguishes sycophancy around a bully specifically is that it isn’t purely opportunistic. There’s a fear substrate underneath the flattery. The sycophant around a bully is also buying protection and signaling non-threat status to the group.

It seems you have incurred the wrath of nakedhunterbiden. Thanks to Damo, you can now follow her progress as she hammers the emojis in real time.
 
When someone follows another person around online, watching their posts, tracking their reactions, or inserting themselves into every thread, it’s usually not about curiosity — it’s about psychological patterns that have nothing to do with the target and everything to do with the follower.

Here’s what that behavior typically reflects, in clear, human terms.


1. Obsessive Monitoring​

This is when a person fixates on someone else’s online activity.It shows up as:

  • Checking your posts the moment you make them
  • Appearing in every thread you comment in
  • Keeping tabs on your reactions, tone, or mood
It’s a form of digital surveillance, not normal engagement.


2. Boundary Problems​

Healthy people respect distance.People who follow others around online often:

  • Don’t accept being ignored
  • Don’t tolerate being blocked
  • Feel entitled to your attention or responses
They treat your online presence like it’s theirs to manage.


3. Control and Narrative Fixation​

Some people can’t let go of old arguments or grudges.They follow you to:

  • “Catch” you saying something
  • Keep the conflict alive
  • Maintain a storyline where they feel superior or “right”
It’s less about you and more about their need to stay in control of a narrative.


4. Attention-Seeking Through Conflict​

For some, negative attention is still attention.They follow you because:

  • They want a reaction
  • They want to provoke you
  • They want to feel relevant
If you don’t respond, they escalate to get a rise out of you.


5. Emotional Insecurity​

People who do this often struggle with:

  • Rejection
  • Feeling ignored
  • Feeling powerless
  • Needing validation
Instead of moving on, they cling harder.


6. Lack of Offline Fulfillment​

When someone invests this much energy into tracking another person online, it often means:

  • They don’t have enough going on offline
  • They use online drama as entertainment
  • They rely on conflict to feel engaged or important
Your posts become their hobby.


7. Stalking‑Adjacent Behavior​

When someone:

  • Tracks your posts
  • Watches your reactions
  • Follows you across threads
  • Mentions you after being blocked
…it crosses into behavior that resembles digital stalking.It may not be malicious, but the impact is the same: unwanted monitoring.


Bottom line​

Following someone around online to watch how they react is usually a mix of:

  • Obsession
  • Boundary issues
  • Control needs
  • Insecurity
  • Attention‑seeking
  • Lack of offline fulfillment
It’s not about you being interesting — it’s about them being unable to let go.
